“Lately, yes.”I whispered, pressing my lips against hers.

I reached over to the nightstand, opened the drawer and pulled out a condom as she reached down and took hold of my cock in her hand, gently stroking me.

“I’m starting to wonder if that is all you think about as well.”I whispered, ripping the wrapper open and sliding it over myself.

I’d just gotten between her legs when my phone let out a shrill ring, causing us both to jump.

“For the love of….this better be important.”I barked a little too loud, reaching over grabbing my phone.

I stared down at my screen seeing Dylan’s name there.I let out a sigh, rolling off Scarlett in time to hear Mia start calling for me.I looked over at Scarlett with an annoyed look.

“I’ll get her.You get that.”Scarlett said, irritation lining her voice as she slipped from the bed throwing my robe on before making her way to Mia’s room.

I let out a sigh as I answered the phone.“This better be important.I was just about to get some.”

“Levi, are you able to come down here?”He questioned, completely ignoring what I’d said.

I frowned; I could hear it in his voice that something was wrong.“Everything alright?”I questioned.

“Yeah, just, can you get down here?”He repeated.

It was then I heard Knox mutter something in the background and Lorelai start to cry.

“Where are you guys?”I asked.

“Colton’s… yes, I’m talking to him now.Just give me a minute.Levi, can you get down here?”

I quickly removed the condom off I’d just put on, then slid into my boxers and jeans.Something was wrong and whatever it was wasn’t good.“I’ll be there in twenty.”

“See you then.”

I got up and threw a shirt on over my head, just as Scarlett appeared carrying Mia in her arms.

“Going somewhere?”She questioned, looking at me with concern.

“Yeah, that was Dylan.Something’s wrong, they need me to head over to Colton’s.”I said, grabbing my keys and wallet off the dresser.

“Will you be gone long?”

“Hopefully not, I’ll message you once I find out what is going on.”I said, pressing a kiss to her lips, then kissing Mia on the cheek.

“Okay, we’ll be waiting.”Scarlett said, laying Mia down on the bed then quickly slipping into the t-shirt and shorts she normally slept in before crawling into bed with Mia.

I pulledup outside of Colton’s house just as two police cars pulled away.The guys all stood in a group while Lorelai sat off to the side.I cut the engine and climbed out of the car and made my way over to where they all stood, immediately noticing someone was missing.

“What the hell is going on?”I questioned, walking over to them.

“It’s bad.”Clay answered.

Dylan was off to the side, on the phone, Knox beside him, his arm around Lorelai as she rested her head against his chest.I looked at them then at Clay, Lucas, realizing Colton who was missing.

“Where’s the big guy?”I questioned.

It was then that Dylan and Knox came over and joined us.“Bout time you got here.”Dylan said, shoving his phone in his back pocket.

“Yeah, well, things were happening.Now would someone tell me what the hell is going on.”

“Colton’s been arrested.”
